That was some awesome lightning (i.imgur.com)

Can someone explain to me how and why lightening spreads out in branches?
I assume the simple answer is to look for the ground, but surely gravity acts upon it somehow...?
I dunno..

No because lighting is pure energy thus gravity has no influence on it. Also the branching of the lighting is what happens a fraction of a second before the main flash of a lightning occurs, this GIF is just the slowed down version of any normal fork lightning.

WOW! Amazing how the last lightning followed exactly the leader!

It looks like a brain, I wonder if our process of making decisions could be visualized similarly.
